Detailed explanation-1: -The most common cause of obstetric fistula in developing countries is prolonged obstructed labour, which occur in around five percent of pregnancies and cause around eight percent of maternal mortality worldwide (WHO Report, 2005).
Detailed explanation-2: -There is also a shortage of highly trained and skilled surgeons to perform the repairs. Tragically, at the current rate of progress, many women and girls living with fistula today could die before ever being treated.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the developed world, such as the US, the primary cause of obstetric fistulae, particularly rectovaginal fistulae, is the use of episiotomy and forceps. Primary risk factors include early or closely spaced pregnancies and lack of access to emergency obstetric care.
